Glad to support anyone who's into South African wine. We pretty much have every South African wine worth drinking in our Cellar, either because we've been around since 1998 or because we're just that good :)

I think SA does a great job with Chenin Blanc (usually labeled "Steen"). If you really want to get a debate going, ask everyone for their thoughts on Pinotage. I'm not as anti-Pinotage as many are, but I do have a tough time with the Hawthorne (aka band-aid) nose that's so typical.

Hello Mark! You can find some really great values on really good wines from SA . One of my favorite vineyards is Sebeka. The vineyard/game preserve was named after the owners pet cheetah. Even the cork is spotted. But, my favorite Sebeka happens to be the Cabernet Pinotage. It is a fantastic wine, ruby red, smooth, dark berries and the pinotage reall kicks it up in intensity adding to the berry notes and it is well structured. And thier Sauvignon Blanc is well ballanced, crisp acid, citrus notes and mineral texture is nice and refreshing. Thier Chardnonnay is also very good. Really nice wines for around $10.00 for a 750 ml bottle. Cheers!
